What is this about?
Federal courts have found that Google engaged in anticompetitive conduct for search advertising and display advertising by entering into a series of exclusionary agreements with other companies and unlawfully combining its display ad-server, ad-exchange, and ad-bidding platforms. Google’s unlawful conduct may have resulted in businesses paying increased prices for search and display advertising.
Am I Eligible?
Any business that purchased search or display advertising on Google Ads (formerly known as AdWords) from 2016 or after.
What am I signing up for by filling out the form?
Google’s advertising terms require that legal claims be resolved through the American Arbitration Association as individual arbitrations rather than in court. Arbitration is a way to litigate disputes outside of court, which means we will not be filing a traditional lawsuit. In arbitration, a neutral third party, called an arbitrator, determines how the legal claim should be resolved, much like a judge would do in court. It’s also possible that your claim may resolved before starting the arbitration process. We anticipate representing other people with similar claims at the same time.
Will this Cost Money?
You will not be responsible for any fees or costs unless we obtain compensation for you. If we are not successful, you owe nothing.
